Commercial Description:
Celebrator has a creamy head of tight bubbles contrasting beautifully with its profound dark robe. It is full-bodied and velvety from half a year's aging. Although it is strong, it is not overpowering. There is a wonderful and complex balance between the various malts, the alcohol and the subtle hops. A complex fruitiness of roasted malt and whole hop flowers make Celebrator great as a party drink with friends and family at celebrations. Despite its richness, it has a faintly smoky dryness in the finish.

The first beer that turned me on to ’real’ beer. For this I’m always thankful for this rich happiness of prune, caramel, roast, and malt. I now and currently find it harder to stomach, but one can’t go wrong with this great and accessible, for many, treat.

Poured into stein, Dark brown color with a frothy off white head. Not much lacing on glass. Smells of chocolate, flowers,burnt fruit,malt and caramel. Taste is complex but appearent is malts,hops,chocolate,fruits,licorice and a overall roasted flavor that adds a great balance to this beer. Alcohol and bitterness is in proportion and work well with the flavors. Palate is smooth, sturdy and leaves a great aftertaste on the back of the tongue. A great doppelbock.

Pours amber dark brown with white frothy head. Smells fruity and sweet with hints of chocolate and toffee. Tastes tart, sweet, and malty, with some roasty, chocolate, fermented fruit, and a little bitterness. Pretty good.

33cl degustata sabato sera; le mie aspettative erano molto alte, quindi non posso non considerarmi un pochino deluso, tuttavia rimane un’ottima doppelbock (stile che forse non è fra i miei preferiti), corposa, dolce e fragrante.

Crushed with TheDude. He said it would change my perspective and Doppelbocks. He was right. Deep Dark brown pour. Malty, fruity aroma. Delicious, roasty, caramel, slightly bitter hops. Big thick mouthfeel. Thanks Dude, this was totally awesome.

From bottle. Part of February Dayton Beer Tasting event. Poured gorgeous deep brown with substantial tan head. Aromas of malt, chocolate, and candied cherries. Very complex taste centered around its malty sweetness. Gets better as it warms up a little bit. Great effort.
